UNSPSC 50465214: Canned or jarred senshyu semi-globe yellow onions

The variety of onions known as senshyu semi-globe yellow onions that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50465214 Canned or jarred senshyu semi-globe yellow onions is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities on file show minimal direct procurement activity under this specific product line. Most opportunities tagged to this code or nearby food-commodity codes center instead on broad institutional food service contracts—including fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared items purchased together as part of comprehensive cafeteria, hospital, or correctional-facility supply agreements. The work being solicited is the supply of shelf-stable and refrigerated consumables to state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and state agencies, with delivery to multiple sites and compliance with USDA grades, FDA standards, and institutional-specific temperature and shelf-life requirements. Issuing bodies span state health and human services departments (Texas HHS Commission), state correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), county commissioners and purchasing offices (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and independent school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) across the South and West. Repeat buyers include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, which has posted multiple IFBs for consumables at state-supported living centers and state hospitals since May 2026.

The recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026), a $1.5 million prior-period value; the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, with the previous purchase at $13.75 per case; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (response due October 19, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for school nutrition food with hundreds of line items across multiple food categories (response due June 15, 2026). All solicitations emphasize FOB Destination delivery, firm fixed pricing, compliance with federal procurement and food-safety standards, proof of vendor references and performance history, and submission of certifications covering debarment status, E-Verify compliance, and product specifications. Most contracts include renewal or extension options spanning one to three additional years. Current activity is moderate and episodic rather than continuous; gaps between postings suggest these are annual or semi-annual procurements rather than standing orders.
